27r> ETHNOGEOGEAPHY OF THE TEWA INDIANS [bth. ann. 2!) 



[16:125J Sun lldeionso Kiinj'setewal'i 'turquoise dwellinjr-ijlace .slope' 

 (kunj'se 'turquoise' <hu 'stone', nj'se unexplained but postfixed 

 to some other nouns, as ^dnj'se 'salt'; te 'dwelling-place'; waki 

 'slope'). The informants were amused at this name. There is, 

 they said, neither turquoise at this locality nor is it a dwelling-place 

 for anything or anybody. The name applies somewhat vaguely to 

 the slope on the southern side of Guaje Arroyo a short distance 

 east of [16:123]. 



[16:126] San Tldefonso 'Omahu'u 'arroyo ])y [16:42]" (^Orna, .see 

 [16:42]; Am'm 'large gi'oove' 'arroyo'). The lower course of 

 Guaje Arroyo, from the confluence of Alamo Canyon [16:100] to 

 the mouth [16:127], is called thusverj' regularly by the San Ildc- 

 fonso Indians. They think of the conspicuous hill or mountain 

 [16:42] and of this wide arroyo together and call them both by 

 the name 'Oina-. See [16:42], [16:.58], [16:127]. 



[16:127] San Ildefon.so ' Omalnnpvog.e 'delta of [16:126]' {'(^mahu'u, 

 see [16:126]; i/wog.e 'delta' 'down where it cuts through' <gwo 

 'to cut througii', ge 'down at' 'over at'). 



The mouth of the great Guaje is a wide dry gulch just west of 

 the railroad bridge. See [16:126]. 



[16:128] San Ildefonso fotieiihi-aje 'quail height' (totiri; 'quail'; 

 hwuje 'height'). 



This is a large me.sa-like height southwest of [16:42] and on the 

 south of Guaje Arroyo. The Santa Clara Indians call quail totsi. 

 instead of foffeii. 



[16:129] San Ildeionso Beta'' iwe ' place that fruit is dried' {be 'roundish 

 fruit', as apples, peaches, pears, etc.; ta 'to dry' 'dryness' 'dry'; 

 'iwe locative). 



This nearly level place on the western bank of the river was 

 formerly used by Indians for drying fruit, so it is said. The 

 name is prol)ably of recent origin. 



[16:130] Buckman Mesa, see [20:5] 



[16:131] (1) San I\deioi]f~o Potjirav/pi/npfeyge 'beyond the reservoir 

 gap mountains", referring to [16:132] {Poqwawii, see [16:132]; 

 fiyf 'mountain'; pmyge 'be3'ond'). Also called merely Pim- 

 pseijije 'l)evond the mountains'. Cf. [16:44] and [16:45]. 

 ('2) Grande Valley, Valle Grande. (<Span.). = Span. (3). 

 (3) Span. Valle Grande 'large valley'. =Eng. (2). 

 This is the largest of the high grass-grown meadow-valleys 

 west of the Jemez Kange. Cf. [16:44] and [16:45]. 



[16:132] San Ildefon.so Poqwawii ' water reservoir gap' {poqwa ' water 

 reservoir' 'water tank' <po ' water', qwa indicating state of lx?ing 

 a receptacle; wo I 'gap').
